THE OUTLOOK.
DIR. Hamilton Discusses the Prob
abilities of an Epidemic,

aO11AIIOS OA du GDllcIHiC3
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Dr. Hamil-
ton. surgeon general of the marine hos
pital service, said tonight that the
arrival of a single ship at New York in
fected with the Asiatic cholera need
not give occasion for alarm. In his
Judgment the health officer at New
York would be able to handle the cases
at quarantine without difficulty. The
sick will, of course, he said. be prop
erly isolated ard removed to safe
place, their clothing and baggage
fumigated, the disintected ship
thoroughly cleansed and her cargo re-
moved and disinfected. The history of
past epidemics has shown that it was
only by repeated arrivals of cholera-in-
fected vessels that the disease gained a
foOthold in this country. 1t was not in
digenous, and our climate and soil was
not favorable to its propagation, but
like all contagious diseases may be i'm
ported if not guarded against. AS an
illustration of this fact, that it
had only broken out after the
arrivals of several cholera laden vessels,
Dr.. Hamilton cited the great epidemic
of 1882. 1t was believed the disease was
brought here from Canada. A ship
bound for Quebec from Ireland arrived
at Crosse Isle quarantine in April, with
ITO emigrants, having had twenty-nine
deaths from cholera during the voyage.
But it was not until after the third
cholera infected ship arrived in June
that the disease broke out on shore.
1t then spread through Canada
and New York state. Disinfeetlon
was not practiced at this time, nor
were any precautions taken. In No
Vpmhar 1918 the shin Now York or.
rived at New York, from Havre with
eleven cases of cholera on board. Seven
deaths occurred on the voyage. The
number of cases increasedsto twenty the
next day and finally reached sixty-three
cases and twenty-nine deaths, but win
ter setting in quite severely, the disease
entirely subsidized.

in return for the privilege of helping
spend some of her hard-headed fathers

In such roseate light did the COM
modore speak of his plant as
the key to the best stock re-

on the point OF capitalizing the whole
thing himself at fabulous price, when
Baron Won Hoffman very properly OBJ

OF the plan, however, to give his son-in-

fed with his easy way of spending
money, was also establishing snug ac-
counts in st. Paul, Bismarck, Mandan,
Miles City and Helena banks. Finally
a statement of the marquis account
found its way across the ocean,
and the way 'sOld Huffy''-as
the boys affectionately called
him-tOre his hair, sufficiently accounts
for the Wilderness of the part on his dome
of thought. Exactly eleven days from
that time he was in Medora. Work Oh
all sides was stopped while he called
for an accounting. His first move was
to send back to st. Paul the marquis

plOyes' heads were taken off right and
left, and the whyness of everything was
inquired into. Matters had progressed
too far for retreat, however, and, after
a force of expert bookkeeperS had
partially untangled the books from a
fearful Snarl, things were again set in
motion. But ''Old Huffy" had his eyes
opened, and kept the puckering strings
of his purse drawn tight. He made the
marquis account for every cent of eX-
penditure, and cut the

PENSES
down to small amount that the mar
quise received as interest money on a
legacy left her by relative. Then the
marquise, and she alone, was to rule the
household, and the marquis, in every
way, was made to feel his dependent
position. And she was verita-
BILE chip of the old block in econo-
MIXING. A half hour was considered
well spent if she could induce dealer
to come down few cents on dozen
eggs, and merchant suffered a loss of
trade because he refused to take back
half salmon that was unused. Her
lack of taste in hunting costumes
is still topic of Medora conversation.
Her hunting suit was sumner. 1t was
a cowboys suit complete, even to the
''chapps." This article of apparel
is simply a pair of leather pants,
rather more flowing than modern
style would demand, and gaudily orna-
mented with leather fringe. Around
her waist was strapped two cartridge
belts, one for her six-shooter, which
hung i'll its case at her side. and the
other for her 44-ealiber Winchester rifle,
slung on her saddle. On her head she
wore 'scow-puncher's" sombrero, and
on her heels the jingling spurs belong

he bought the Drake Bros cold storage
houses in st. Paul for about $4,000,
started a 100000 plant in Duluth, and
contracted for 500, 900 worth of fat cat

be hurried to Medora. Having thus

cattle and sheep. He bought $4,000
worth of sheep, and every NANCY
head of them died the first winter.
Meantime the marquis had moved to
Medora, with a retinue of servants, and
the sprigs of royalty were keeping
house in their $4,000 architectural
monstrosity, which was located on a
beautiful site across the river. The
marquiSe was apparently much attached
to her husband, and newell, he did
love her fathers money. Visitors were

came also, and journalists. E. V.
Smalley was there, and was so touched
at the marquis overtiOwing hospitality
that he devoted many pages of the
Northwest to a description of the new
business-at uniform rate of $50 a
page. Hunting and riding trips were
constantly INDUCED in by gay parties
from the "Chateau," and everything
''went merry as marriage bell"

Special Letter to the Globe.

COW punchers, marQuises and despera-
does float before the minds eye as the
traveller hears the brakeman announce
that, The next station at which this
train stops is Medora.'
The charitable mantle of night
had covered the town when
your correspondent landed. Guided
by the only light in view
he succeeded, after many tumbles, in
locating the male population of the
town in ''The Elk" a place of cheer
where everything from beer to brandy
is furnished at the uniform rate of Is
cents cheer. Here also was found the
gentleman of whom your correspondent
was in search, and whose name is al
most as we'll known to cattlemen as is
that of the Marquis de Mores. The tale
that he told-every fact of which has
been carefully substantiated-is about
as follows:
In 1882 Commodore Gorringe, of
Egyptian obelisk fame, encouraged by
Henry Willard, then president of the
North ern Pacific, bought the Canton
ment, deserted military post located at
the crossing of the Little Missouri river
and the Northern Pacific railroad. as
headquarters for The Little Missouri
Land and Stock company. The willy
commodore was too short of funds to
capitalize the business with his own
money, and, in casting about for men
of means, lighted upon the Marquis de
Mores, who had, short time previ-
ously, consummated marriage de
convenience" with the daughter of
Banker Won Hoffman, by which he

is now doing an immense business in the
Middle states.
On the return of the party the mar
QuiS had pressing business out of town,
and on his return the marquise must
need start Immediately for New York.
1t was a touching marital sight to see
with what unanimity they laid their
plans to the same end. Where one was
there was not the other also.
During the following winter recon-
ciliatiOn was again effected, and in the
spring the marquis clancy lightly
turned to thoughts" of star gazing. He
is probably as imaginative and unprac-
tical man as there is living. He will
seize upon an idea, figure it out on pa
per, utterly ignore fatal flaw in his
reasoning, and triumphantly assert that
there are millions in it." This faculty
of his character led to the final row be-
ween Won Hoffman and himself, the
breach being as yet .unhealed.
1t seems that the marquis, by an eX-
traordinary lucky course of reasoning,
finally reached the same conclusion that
any one else would have reached in two
must be kept running longer than three
pay. To this end he thought
out a scheme Of fattening cat
tie on the range, the basis of
his food being obtained from barley,
shipped from Oregon and. Washington
to Milwaukee, and the resultant malt
shipped back to Medora. He ignored
the fact that he would have to pay, about
as much for his food, pound for pound.
as he would get for the beef. and began
planning series of feeding stalls that,
side by side, would extend over eight
miles. :s
At this time the baron shut down ''for
keeps on the marquis, and

1t was cruel to thus thwart his glitter
ing plans, but it did not discourage him
long. He started for New York, and,
much to the surprise of the knowing
ones, became sufficiently reconciled
with his wife SO that, they went to
housekeeping ON Fifth avenue, in a
house for which the Marquis
agreed to pay $4,000 per year.
He couldn't win over the baron,
however, and so he started a new plan
to straise the wind" The Western
Dressed Beef company was organized,
with headquarters at ArmOurdale, Kan,
and the erection of 100000 slaughter
house was begun, under the direction
OF dressed Deef expert from Cnlcago,
who commenced drawing salary of
S2o, GOO year. Won Hoffmann would net
touch this scheme, OF, for that matter, rec
ognize his sen-in-law in any way, and
the foundations of the new buildings
were hardly laid when work was dis
continued, and the Western Dressed
Beef company was no more. The mar
quis had to give up his elegant New
York residence and send his wife back
to the Won Hotfmans-this time it would
appear for good
The marquis soon afterward at
tempted to go to France, but was de-
tanned as defendant in numerous suits.
This brings matters down to date,

SAN Francisco, November 49,
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has decided to make a general
reduction in telegraph rates through
out the United States, commencing
December LIST. The reduction will
affect nearly all the cities on the
Pacific Coast. An idea OF the reduc-
ton may be gained from the change
of tariff from this city to any other
point in California. The present
maximum tariff is 60 cents for ten
words. and cents for each additional
word. The new tariff provides for q
maximum rate OF 40 cents, and 3
cents for each additional word.
THE RATES FROM CALIFORNIA
to the interior States are also materi-
ally reduced. No change will be
made in the present tariff to New
York, which is relatively lower than
to interior points. The new rates as
affecting particular points cannot be
stated until the revised tariff arrives
from the East. The tariff reduces the
rate for messages from Los Angeles.
San DIEGO, San Bernardino, Santa
Ana, and other southern cities to
San Francisco and also northern
points, 10 cents on each message.
